One thing that helped me rationalize my fear of death was to admit that it is an inevitability and to simply prepare myself mentally for it.

I'm similar I wouldn't want a painful death. But in the end seems I won't much care once I've popped my clogs and its going to happen sooner or later it doesn't bother me. I just get on with what I'm doing and hope that I can enjoy as much of my existence as I get a chance to.
